Today would not be a good day for "fun-flying".

Flying is possible in this wind , but it would be far from "fun"

I think there's more fun to be had sitting under the lapa with a drink in the hand........ :oops:

Hier by die dam "POMP" die wind. :shock: :shock:

Windguru was once again correct.

Willempie het het nou die vinnigste windlass.Vandag het jy die seile behoorlik gespan.Ek het vandag in die wind gespray en geweld op die 2de vloer.Dit was my slegste welding in 17 jaar.Ek dink ek het nie eers so sleg geweld toe ek 'n appy was nie.Die jet hier op Heidelberg het netso na 5 geland maar hy het ook lekker gesukkel.Nie wat los maar die trike in die hanger en vlieg 'n volgende keer.Groete Johan.

Brilliant!!! Love the story and the way you tell it! Sometimes it is better to "be on the ground wishing you were in the air than being in the air wishing you were on the ground". Good on you!

Wen i open the waenhuis , no wind at all, the mist ly low to the wesst , the sweetcorn and pampoens blare dont move the mist from the centre pivot is dead quit , only when i get to the Rust der winter dam all hel is loose , i try to land on the tar near the hoenner plaas but the wing is to heavy and the windlass start to fly in reverse , the engis rev at 6850 rpm no forwar movement so i go up till it is manageble , ja ek vang n moerse skrik and realise you cant buy ondervinding jy moet dit ervaar , partykeer is jy nie so slim soos jy dink nie , laat dit nou n les wees seg my se pa toe ek dit ritteltits het soos die foxie maak as hy meerkat sien groetenis vanni vlaktes ($$)
